   No. I know the UUID of the external drive but want to learn the UUID of
the hard drive partitions that are identified (currently) as /dev/hda1 -
/dev/hda13. I know that Slackware-13.1 has moved to using UUIDs in
/etc/fstab/ so if I can write down the relationships now it will make the
upgrade easier.

   Oh. Now I better understand.
